Move It Removals

Move It Removals, BAR-regulated removals in Southend-on-Sea

Move It Removals is a removal company based in Southend-on-Sea that has been operating in the town and across south Essex for more than two decades. It is regulated by the British Association of Removers (BAR) and is part of the Move Group. The company presents itself as a BAR member, signed up to the Trading Standards approved Code of Practice, and offers its customers the BAR Advance Payment Guarantee, as well as insurance cover up to £100,000 on every move.

The company states that it has its own uniformed team employed directly, with no subcontracting, so that the same people who survey the move are the ones who carry it out. It has its own fleet and its own storage facility in Essex.

Domestic removal services

The domestic side covers everything from one-bedroom flats in Southend to five-bedroom family homes in Rayleigh. The service includes packing, loading, transport and unloading, and is complemented by storage and international shipping through its own network. Boxes and packing materials are included as standard, and there is the option to book a full or partial packing service, with labelling by room to make settling in at the destination easier.

Commercial removals and specialist logistics

For businesses, the company plans office and business relocations in Southend and the rest of Essex, adapting to the client's working hours to keep disruption to a minimum. It also handles fine art, fragile items, specialist logistics and commercial storage.

Own storage in Essex

Move It Removals has a secure storage facility in Essex, available for short or long stays. It is useful when move-out and move-in dates do not match up or when extra space is needed during the move.

How a move works

The process begins with a survey visit in which the property, access and volume of goods are assessed, after which a fixed, written quote is provided. Dates, packing options and storage needs are then agreed, all confirmed in writing. If packing has been booked, the team packs and labels everything the day before or on the morning of the move, including fragile items. On moving day, a uniformed crew loads, transports and unloads, placing furniture and boxes where the client wants them. If the dates do not line up, the goods remain in the company's own storage until the client is ready.

Areas covered in south Essex

The company states that it is based in Essex and focused on the south of the county. Its regular areas of work include Southend-on-Sea, Leigh-on-Sea, Rayleigh, Benfleet, Basildon and Chelmsford, as well as the rest of the towns in Essex.

Quotes and service terms

All quotes are fixed and in writing, with no waiting-time charges: if the conveyancing is delayed on completion day, the price does not change. The company recommends booking four to six weeks in advance for most moves in Southend, especially around month-end dates and school holidays, although it accepts shorter-notice bookings when dates are available. The cost depends on the size of the property, the distance, access and whether packing or storage is needed.
